Also while LTL linehaul is pretty gravy IF you can work nights. A lot of LTL guys here have been at their companies for awhile. So they have the gravy runs and day runs. One big thing which LTL guys take for granted of the general trucking public is a lot of OTR drivers don’t want or can’t work nights. Also a lot of these guys don’t want to unload even with a pallet jack or fork lift. Early in my driving career I didn’t want to work nights and felt I couldn’t hack it. I didnt want to unload either cause I spent 7 years delivering furniture. But after 6 years I made the change and I wanted to make the LTL big bucks. I learned how to deal with it and was kind of in a beggars can’t be choosers situation.
While LTL is high paying a lot of drivers don’t want the lifestyle or some can’t really do it.

I have a CDL. I wish to be home every day. I wish to have good benefits. I wish to make great money. I found a job that offered me all that.
But if you want to be away from home and make your money...there's a place for that in the industry as well.
I'm not gonna say one is "better" or more legitimate than the other. I will openly tell you I couldn't hack it OTR. But a lot of OTR guys couldn't hack LTL and LTL-adjacent jobs, as well. We do what we want to do, and that's okay. It's all driving.SidewaysBentHalo, jtaran06, jmz and 3 others Thank this. -
